Crocodile Meat to Savour

In Vietnam's Nha Trang; since it's a coastal city, one would expect lots of seafood. One would be amazed with the wide selection here; from little squids to giant prawns, crabs to jellyfish, sea urchins and shellfish of various shapes and sizes. Seafood don't come cheap here though but depending on your budget and preference, you could eat out at either the cheaper street markets and seafood eateries or else spend a bomb at the more trendy international restaurants. For dinner, my friends and I found a not very posh eating place but it was packed with Caucasians. The food there were not exactly cheap but cheaper than other places comparatively. Then, we didn't order all seafood; about the only seafood we had was scallops and a surprise inclusion was crocodile meat which came skewered with capsicum, cucumber and onions. That wasn't a lot for the price we paid; but there was a little piece of meat for all to savour. Later, before we headed back to the hotel, we loitered at a fruit stall and had fruit juice by the roadside.
